Expensive for sure …. Glass ….

Came home to this .

Really strange . You can see the impact/ fracture  mark ( top side is fine ) . Nothing obvious around like a sledge hammer ! Yet shattered ! Blame the varying heat ?

Toughened glass often has tiny impurities in it.

These set up a stress raiser.

Then they can just shatter with seemingly not reason.

 

I had sold my car, went out in it the day before the guy was to pick it up. Driving down an empty road the windscreen shattered.  Cost me 50 quid.

I should have stayed in.

Was on a job where a Norrsken slider just went pop, months after it was installed. It was either the middle or outer pane iirc, but we were all the other end of the room chatting and it decided that was the day to “leave the chat”.

Been walked on? 

 

Nickel sulphide inclusion?

Even a bit of miss sized walk on glazing would not do that.

Plant pots on top of the glass right?

 

Have they been watered recently? If so, temperature difference

Women with stilettos on it.

Christ @SteamyTea , what size stiletto heels do Cornish folk wear down your way ?

 

Judging by the three that are visible above the glass in the photo they'd fit Shrek's missus !
